'B.O.T.D.' stands for 'Blood On The Doorpost'. The blood of our Passover Lamb, Jesus Christ, must be sprinkled on the doorpost of our heart all the time; then the 'destroying angel' must pass over us, and the Spirit of God can dwell in us.

Inspired by the incident when the blood of the Passover Lamb on the doorpost of their house" saved God's people from the Angel of Death in Egypt. Those who did not have the blood were not protected and their firstborn died. And, without the blood of the Passover Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, we are already dead in our sins! But His blood has the power of the eternal life of God to save us from death.

I got off the track, Lord...
I did not obey.
Yes, I got off the track, Lord:
I was goin' astray!
Lord have mercy,
Help me return to Your way!
(Right now!)

Destroying angel, out to claim a life...
Like a roaring lion; but it's not your time!
'Cause there's blood on my doorpost,
So just you pass me by!
(Pass on by!)

Got blood on my doorpost, 'til the end of the night!
His blood has the power
To keep us 'til morning light!(The Blood of Jesus!)
'Cause my God has promised:
His blood will make everything alright!
